00:00China is known for its tech and my colleague Gaurav Savant is in Tianjin
00:05where he is getting us all the lowdown of the tech that China is displaying at SEO.
00:11Take a look.
00:13At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Media Center,
00:18SEO Summit Media Center here in Tianjin,
00:21the center of attraction truly is Sao Hieu, a robot.
00:25The use of artificial intelligence and robot technology,
00:30something that China has been showcasing to the world.
00:34And you ask Sao Hieu a question.
00:37She responds to your questions.
00:40She speaks as of now in three languages, English, Russian and of course Chinese.
00:47So let me ask a question.
00:50Sao Hieu, how are you?
00:52I'm functioning optimally.
00:58I'm functioning optimally.
01:02You're currently operating at full capacity to assist you.
01:06Okay.
01:07How may I be of service today?
01:09So Sao Hieu, tell me what happened in the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
01:15and the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
01:17As an AI assistant.
01:23You can change another question.
01:26Okay.
01:27So there are some questions in China that are not answered, not even by robots.
01:33So what can I ask you?
01:36Okay.
01:37How was the meeting?
01:39What do we expect from the SEO Summit?
01:42The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit serves as an important platform for member states
01:51to discuss regional cooperation, security and economic development.
01:59While specific meeting details aren't publicly available until officially released.
02:03Okay.
02:05You can expect discussions on enhancing multilateral cooperation.
02:11Fair enough.
02:11And promoting regional challenges.
02:14And promoting economic initiatives among member nations.
02:19So how are India-China relations moving forward?
02:23Silence.
02:35Stunned silence.
02:37And perhaps when you talk about artificial intelligence, because a lot depends on what's fed into the system
02:43and what comes out of the system.
02:46But if I say,
02:48E-looping on.
02:51What does E-looping on mean?
02:57The term E-looping on doesn't appear to be a standard technical or common phrase in English.
03:03Okay.
03:04So that...
03:04It might be a type of abbreviation.
03:07Okay.
03:08So...
03:09Or specialized comes from a particular context.
03:11Thank you very much.
03:13So when it comes to artificial intelligence,
03:16the robot,
03:18very interesting.
03:19Some of the answers...
03:21In China.
03:23The questions are best not asked.
03:25Gaurav Savant,
03:25in Tianjin,
03:26China,
03:27for India Today.
03:29At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,
03:31right here at the media center,
03:33the effort is to show Chinese technology.
03:36And come closer,
03:36let me show you what these robots are all about.
03:40These are packets,
03:42and this robot makes that distinction,
03:44which packet has to go there.
03:46With me is Mia Omolamay.
03:48Mia, hi.
03:49What can you tell us?
03:50What does this robot do?
03:51This one,
03:52this robot is from Tianjin Persini's company's humanoid robot.
03:56Its name is Torawan.
03:57And its major function is,
03:58as you see,
03:59it can just pick the package and category them,
04:02you know,
04:03just put them into different source categories,
04:07based on their colors.
04:08And as you can see,
04:09over the baskets over there,
04:10it has black packages with the black ones,
04:14and the white with the white ones.
04:15Yeah.
04:16So,
04:17this is just one of the many technologies on display.
04:20So,
04:21watch this.
04:21It has the camera there.
04:23It notices the package.
04:25It has fingers.
04:25That makes the distinction,
04:27and drops it in different categories,
04:30depending on the color of the package.
04:32They can also make that distinction according to weight.
04:35So,
04:35automation is the key that they're trying to show.
04:37What is also very interesting,
04:38and come closer,
04:39let me try and show you this.
04:41This is a drone recharger,
04:44and it's all about size and scale.
04:50How many drones,
04:51this is a drone charger,
04:52am I right?
04:53Yes,
04:53yes,
04:53yes.
04:53It's not only just a drone charger,
04:55it can just,
04:56you know,
04:57just let the drone up,
04:58and just put it down,
04:59and some of that.
05:00So,
05:01it's,
05:01yeah.
05:01So,
05:02it's automation.
05:03In the civil,
05:05it has a role.
05:06In military,
05:07it can have a role.
05:08What role does it have?
05:09So,
05:09this is a machine,
05:11that not only charges the drone,
05:13it can replace a faulty part,
05:15and it can launch a drone.
05:17And,
05:17apparently,
05:18more than 50 drones,
05:19one after the other,
05:20it has the capability of recharging,
05:22repairing,
05:23and launching.
05:24Sorry.
05:25the number of drones it can repair and launch.
05:28The number of drones is,
05:30this one,
05:30I need to ask my technician right now.
05:33Perfect.
05:33So,
05:33when I was speaking to one of the technicians,
05:35they were telling me about the size,
05:37scale,
05:38and speed,
05:38with which these robotic arms,
05:41they work.
05:42And,
05:42and just imagine,
05:43so this drone has a camera here,
05:45it's a quadcopter,
05:46it can be used for surveillance,
05:49it can also,
05:50in a different context,
05:51have other uses.
05:53So,
05:53this is where the technology comes.
05:55Another piece of equipment,
05:56that is on display here,
05:58is something that would,
05:59ultimately,
06:00replace a human.
06:01This is a charger,
06:03a battery charger,
06:04in an electronic vehicle.
06:06What does it do?
06:07So,
06:07you bring your car,
06:08you don't even have to spend time,
06:10in putting the charger,
06:12this arm,
06:13does it on its own,
06:14a robotic arm.
06:16So,
06:16this is how China,
06:17is displaying some of these robots,
06:19and these youngsters,
06:20are explaining this.
06:21Now,
06:21what is their effort?
06:23The effort is to show,
06:25the size,
06:26the scale,
06:27at which,
06:28all these technologies,
06:29are coming into China,
06:31also artificial intelligence.
06:34Gaurav Savant,
06:35in Tianjin,
06:36China,
06:37for India today.
06:38This,
06:40is the next generation,
06:41of technology.
06:43This is,
06:43an immersive technology experience.
06:46So,
06:46watch this screen,
06:48and watch,
06:49this,
06:50equipment around me.
06:52This,
06:52gives you a sense,
06:54of what's happening around.
06:55So,
06:55the next time you watch a movie,
06:57it may just be like this,
06:59in a giant movie theater,
07:01where the theater,
07:03is also,
07:05on the floor.
07:07This,
07:07will show you,
07:09the entire experience,
07:10of the movie,
07:11that you're watching,
07:12and it's not just sight,
07:14it's also,
07:15the smell.
07:16So,
07:17every sensory power,
07:18is being used here.
07:20So,
07:21for example,
07:21if there's a fragrant tree,
07:23or there are flowers,
07:25there'll be a fragrance,
07:26of trees,
07:27and flowers,
07:28just behind,
07:29you know,
07:29you see the trees there,
07:30and you smell that fragrance here.
07:32That's the experience,
07:33and let me show it to you,
07:35how this immersive technology works.
07:37So,
07:37you have,
07:38like in a movie theater,
07:40chairs,
07:41like this.
07:42So,
07:43I'm sitting here,
07:44and watching,
07:45this movie.
07:46Now,
07:47when I watch these images,
07:48it's all over.
07:50I get a sense of height,
07:54here.
07:56I can see the birds,
07:59they're flying,
08:00around me,
08:01and then,
08:02they soar,
08:03and it's all around me,
08:05this immersive experience,
08:06watch this.
08:08It's as if,
08:10these images,
08:11transport you there,
08:12from artificial intelligence,
08:14to the sensory power.
08:17All of that,
08:18is being utilized here,
08:19and this is what China,
08:21is showcasing.
08:22With me,
08:24is a volunteer,
08:26here,
08:26at this stall,
08:27in Changling,
08:27you explain to me,
08:29what this experience is.
08:31You,
08:32you said,
08:33mean this video,
08:35actually,
08:36we have two video,
08:37and this one is,
08:39means the,
08:40wings of peace,
08:41shared destiny,
08:43and we can see,
08:43this have many,
08:45different,
08:46SEO members,
08:47country,
08:48and they are very famous,
08:50landscapes,
08:51in here,
08:52and,
08:52this,
08:53here,
08:54you can see,
08:55the,
08:553D effects,
08:57yes,
08:58it's very,
08:59directly to,
09:00feel the,
09:01like the,
09:02you can see,
09:04and you can smell it,
09:05touching,
09:06all this in one,
09:08yes.
09:09So,
09:09it's the,
09:10it's the use of,
09:11all your senses,
09:12and sensory power,
09:14it's not just,
09:15see it,
09:16you can also,
09:17smell it,
09:18and touch it,
09:19it almost feels,
09:21as if,
09:21you're soaring,
09:22like the people there.
09:25That's,
09:26Kremlin,
09:26Moscow,
09:27in winters,
09:28does that make you feel cold?
09:30Well,
09:30that's the impression,
09:32of course,
09:32the air conditioning here,
09:34hasn't come on,
09:35to make you feel cold,
09:36or to feel,
09:37that there is,
09:38a whale,
09:39right behind you,
09:40but,
09:40I am told,
09:41their effort is,
09:43that next time,
09:45you see a horse,
09:46you can,
09:47smell the horse,
09:49when you see a whale,
09:50and there's a splash,
09:51of water,
09:52there'll be a splash,
09:53of water,
09:54on your face,
09:55so,
09:55that is how immersive,
09:57they intend,
09:57to make this technology,
